Year 7444, Month 5, Day 3
The end of the days off. Starting today we're exploring the 6th floor again. Thanks to the information I gained during these days off, the dungeon isn't simply a place for to gain treasure, but it's beco a place where I can obtain the catalyst needed to use a spell in order to negotiate with the one who used this {Report} on . It will change the amount of fighting spirit I'm putting into it.
Since I was supposed to be in the capital until yesterday, I paid everyone's wages before the break started. There's no way I'd let there be any delays in paynt. I was eating a chicken roast, so eggs, and a badly made muffin for breakfast while looking around at everyone's faces. Yeah, I can feel that everyone is energetic from their expressions. It seems they were satisfied with their days off.
"Co to think it, that guy supposedly died."
Ralpha is saying to Zenom and Zulu next to her. What is she doing talking about dead people this early in the morning...It's not like she said it to , so I'll just ignore it.
"Hn?"
"Who did?"
Zenom put so egg on his muffin while and Zulu put so pepper on his egg while responding.
"Rember, after we ca here..Nn~ It was around the ti we went to the 2nd floor, so it's those guys that ca to Baldukk a short while after Maruso entered our party, right? That Tiger-man noble who ca from outside of the country."
I guess there was still so roast remaining on a rib. Ralpha said while taking the bone out from her mouth.
"Ah, that young guy called Rokis or whatever? He was the son of a Marquis or sothing right? Did he die?"
Zenom finishes his egg muffin while saying.
"No, not Rokis but one of his followers. The male Rabbit-people nad Biku. I think it was a short while after Maruso joined us. When Zulu ca along with shopping, didn't it turn into a fight? Don't you rember? Zulu."
"..I don't rember. In the first place there were a lot of people who picked fights with us over Koloil-sama around that ti so we got into fights often."
I guess it's that, do you rember every ti you've eaten bread? type of thing. It's true I don't rember them all either. Honestly speaking, I don't rember getting into an argunt or fight with Rokis and the others either. Other than that one incident in the dungeon the other day. It's not unreasonable that Zulu doesn't rember.
"I see. Well it's fine. And, that Rabbit-people died in the dungeon fighting against an Ork it seems. But, since it was after they started to retreat they weren't able to recover the corpse."
Ralpha is talking while she uses the bone she pulled off the rib as a toothpick. Is this girl really a woman? I feel like I'm about to be stuck with so serious doubts. I'm sure Bel and Toris are stuck together as usual so they haven't noticed but Gwine is frowning as well. I'm sure my expression isn't much different from Gwines as well.
"Isn't it sothing that happens often? Was there sothing that seed strange about it?"
Angela said while putting so roast chicken between her muffin. Zenom is focused on eating his completed egg muffin.
"It's not particularly unusual. I think that Biku just let his guard down. Ah, Kalstalan-sama can I use the pepper?"
Zulu, isn't that too much pepper? I'm amazed you can calmly eat sothing like that.
"Well you would think that right. But you know, I don't know if it was the 1st or 2nd floor but since Orks will run away all on their own if you defeat or injure one of them, so depending on how you think about it goblins and gnolls are more dangerous right. I guess he must have been hit in a pretty bad place."
It's true it's just as Ralpha says, Orks and Hobgoblins have a decent amount of combat ability individually but since they specialize in group combat, if they even take a bit of damage it's often they start to retreat. Gnolls sotis show signs of that as well but when it cos to goblins they just keep charging at you so you could say they're more troubleso. There's tis when weak adventurers are eaten. However, putting aside newcors, it's unusual for an adventurers with enough ability to make it to the 2nd floor to get killed by an Ork. Though it's not that there's few enough of them for it to be unnatural though.
"Al-san, why is Ral like this? I don't think she was like this in the past but I guess people really do change.."
Gwine is putting ham on her muffin as she talks to .
"Really though...I don't know about in the past but she was only putting on a feigned face for the first few days after I t her. After that it was always like this."
Ralpha was watching as I responded to Gwine like that but she didn't say anything. After all it's the truth. I bite off a bit of the roast chicken leg while making a face that said "I haven't spoken any lies" but it seems Ralpha decided to ignore us and she's still continuing to talk to Zenom and the others.
From the other side of Ralpha and the others,
"Really, stop eating just at and eat so eggs as well."
"Eh~ I don't like eggs. I just took them for your sake."
"Eh..Is that so? Thanks. I love you."
"Of course I do too. That's why if you're not going to eat that chicken I'll take it."
"That is no~good~."
And I hear a strange conversation that I'm not sure if I'm envious of or not. The couple of Toris and Bel are as annoying as usual this morning. I've just decided that you two are standing at the front until the teleport room on the 3rd floor for today.

Year 7444, Month 5, Day 8
After returning from the dungeon last night I slept a full night and today I was able to relax and take a break. Right now I'm having dinner with everyone. This "Murowa" is a good bar to relax where their selling point is the skewers they offer while you have a drink. Since it wears away at your nerves quite a bit exploring the dungeon for 5 days straight, the day after getting back we don't feel like doing anything. I'm lenient towards them spending their ti sluggishly and self-indulgent. Even then one of my slaves and myself never miss out on running for about two hours though. Recently I've been seeing the faces of Toris and Gwine when I go for my running in the mornings as well. Since the course and pace differs by person it's not like we're running together.
This ti we weren't able to get our hands on anything big while exploring the dungeon. It was just the magic stones from monsters. Since normally this is only obvious, it's not sothing to get depressed over but since I got quite enthusiastic about exploring the dungeon I was a bit disappointed. Ah, really, I wonder if a raw gem crystal won't co out already?
"Today you know, when I was eating together with Gwine at "Rasurun", I heard about it again."
Ralpha is talking about so sort of information she heard about again. No, it's not sothing as refined as information. It's like the rumors you hear at the well-side gatherings. Are you a housewife?
"About what?"
Bel tried asking Ralpha. Just ignore her there. Toris and I exchange glances and Toris started pouring so lukewarm beer from the pitcher into my mug. I asked the Laios waitress for two more pork skewers and poured so beer back into Toris's mug.
After the waitress went and gave the order to the kitchen with her swinging beautiful long scarlet hair and then she sat down "next" to Zulu who was sitting alone at the next table over and started talking about sothing. Why didn't she sit across from him?
Angela, Gwine, and Zenom are getting excited about the topic of the beard Gwine has started growing recently. It's a beard which you can barely tell has started growing if you look closely at the bottom of her jaw and below her nose. It sounds like a conversation to comfort Gwine who is worried about it. Zenom is giving his opinion of "A woman with no beard has no charm" but it seems she doesn't approve.
Toris is skillfully eating so dried ibodi with his {My} chopsticks. I'm eating keiswago in fish and vegetables also with {My} chopsticks while (I get a good impression that Toris is also properly using chopsticks~) drinking so bear as well.
"And you know, this ti it seems it was Joni. You rember right? I think it was last winter, ah, since it was last year before we t Toris and Gwine so it should have been after the new year. It's the Tiger-man who tried to pick a fight with us to hit on Bel at "Danfulu"."
It's the voice of a rumor loving housewife.
"Eh~ I can't rember. There's too many."
The voice of a rabbit who is putting on airs.
"Is that sarcasm?"
